A player may quit a match within the first 10 game-time minutes of the match if the lag is making it unplayable. He should then contact his opponent ASAP to explain his reason for quitting and to rearrange.

If a Participant suspects foul play, the League Organiser should be informed ASAP to ensure a clean league.
The website's fixture notes are to be used to arrange matches.
The match should aim to be played during the fixture week. If the match cannot be played during that time, then it should be arranged to be played in the following week.
The home team is responsible for contacting their opponent and arranging a date/time to play within the fixture week.
Once a date is agreed amongst the participants it should not be missed. If a participant misses an arranged time, the available participant should bring this to the attention of the league official to ensure any 'trends' are addressed.
Managers are able to play matches early and enter the results on the website. If played early, managers are not permitted to post anything that might indicate the results before the fixture date.
This rule exists to maintain the league experience for everyone.
The League Organisers will determine if a post breaks the rule or not. To ensure you don't fall foul of the rule, just don't post about future fixtures.
The following penalties will be applied for breaking the rule:
The season will end after the last fixture has been resolved.
For the top league: The top team at the end of the season is declared the champion! The bottom three teams are relegated.
For the middle leagues: The top two teams are promoted and the teams who finish between 3rd and 6th spot playoff for the final promotion spot. The bottom 3 teams are relegated.

If a participant does not adhere to the rules, then his account may be marked with a 'foul'.
If a participant is guilty of persistent 'fouling' he may be removed from the league.
A participant will be informed via PM of any disciplinary measures taken against them.
Participant does not play his matches within the 14 day limit.

Participant does not use the fixture notes to arrange matches.
If a participant leaves, or is removed from the league, all matches involving that participant are to be removed from the record.
At the end of the season, additional people from the league below will be promoted to fill any 'gaps'.
Q: I am going on holiday for 2 weeks which would mean that I am unable to play the matches in the 14 day limit.
A: If you have a clean disciplinary record, then you may well be given additional time to play your matches. If you have previously been disciplined then you are likely to be forced to forfeit the matches you are unable to play within the 14 day limit (at the discretion of the LO and RPEL administrator). Post in the dressing room that you will be away and add fixture notes to each of the fixtures you will not be able to play on time.
Q: I am due to play my match against [Participant] tomorrow, but I now cannot make it and have been unable to contact him! What should I do?
A: PM both your opponent and your LO. This will avoid any mis-called 'fouls' being recorded against you. You should then arrange to play the match ASAP via the usual method.
Q: I suspect my opponent of cheating. What should I do about that?
A: Do not start an argument in the dressing room by posting accusations. Doing so resolves nothing and just causes bad feeling. If you suspect an opponent of cheating (creating lag, not being the person you are meant to be playing etc) then contact myself or your LO immediatly, setting out your suspicions and reasons. Each case will be investigated seperately.
